Hemi Tick, or normal?

[Cjnnewman]

So I’ve just replaced both manifold gaskets and bolts, now I can hear the real ticking in the engine. I know most of it is normal.

Just want EDUCATED opinions on this sound please. Doesn’t seem too concerning and the engine runs smooth, zero misfires.

Sounds normal to me. Every hemi I've heard up close like that sounds the same.

My 2019 Classic developed this tick at 25.000 km,dealer perform engine test and say ,this tick is normal,nothing wrong with the engine,so after that I try different oils&filters,and the cure was pennzoil 5w20 semi synthetic and mopar oil filter,before I run Shell Rotella full synthetic oil 5w20and fram ultra synthetic oil filter.

With mine I can tell a fuel injector click from a seized lifter roller clack, from an exhaust leak bark.

I used those words to help with the different sounds. Injector clicking is up top, bothering sides. Exhaust bark is usually one side only, down low, and mostly with cold engine. Hemi lifter clacking can be either side, down low, but all the time - not just when engine is cold.

Sound normal to me, typical light tapping coming from the valve train, Change to a lubrication strategy and report back, how many miles and what oil and filter?

Currently valvoline 5w20 full synthetic and a wix filter.

Try using Redline 5w30 full synthetic W/ 10-48 royal purple filter, or Fram XG2 and Lube Gard biotech 15oz bottle for insurance to battle lifter/cam failure.

Had my Hemi tick fixed under warranty and it sounded like that
